I think you like to know what all sides are thinking and how they are getting their information.? A good thing, honestly.? It is misinformation and disinformation that is responsible for the ongoing assault on our democracy, flawed as it is.??

¡°You know, Nazis were the National Socialist Party. Just like the Democrats are now a national socialist party.¡±

Those who apparently do not know history are doomed to make basic mistakes.
It seems so simple. The official name of the Adolf Hitler¡¯s political party ¡ª the Nazis ¡ª had the word ¡°socialist¡± in it. Ergo, it must have been a socialist party. And that means that Democrats, some of whom call themselves socialists, must be Nazis. Or something like that.
The full name of Hitler¡¯s party was Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei. In English, that translates to National Socialist German Workers¡¯ Party. But it was not a socialist party; it was a right-wing, ultranationalist party dedicated to racial purity, territorial expansion and anti-Semitism ¡ª and total political control.
The Nazi party was largely supported by small-business men and conservative industrialists, not the proletariat. Still, left-wing parties such as the Communists and Social Democrats were major parties in 1920s Germany so the inclusion of ¡°socialist¡± in the party¡¯s name was attractive to working-class voters who might also be anti-Semitic. Hitler adamantly rejected socialist ideas, dismantled or banned left-leaning parties and disapproved of trade unions.
We suggest Greene brush up on her history of the Nazi party. It was not a ¡°socialist¡± party and cannot be compared, either in the United States or in Europe, to today¡¯s socialists. She earns Four Pinocchios. - Glenn Kessler, Washington Post
